He said projects need greater transparency about power rates, water use, infrastructure, property taxes and community benefits, while arguing that data centers are important to the U.S. artificial intelligence race.

Rep. Buddy Carter, a Georgia Republican and former mayor, said voters should be informed about proposed data centers before projects are approved. He cited concerns about electricity rates, water use, infrastructure, property taxes and subsidies, and said developers should explain how projects will benefit local communities.

Carter argued that Georgia rules requiring companies to bear the costs they create can help reassure residents that data center development will not increase power bills. He also said incentives may be appropriate when they bring investment and jobs, but communities should receive tangible benefits in return. The discussion framed data centers as both a source of local concern and a necessary part of competing in artificial intelligence.
